Membership Websites

Membership websites are a popular way to build a successful online business, but setting one up can be a challenge. Beers Design can design your site and also configure your membership software for you, all you need to do is add content, promote your site, and profit.

Here are a few examples of membership sites we’ve developed. Click each image to enlarge it.

There are also many other uses for adding a member’s only area to your website, such as offering a secure client area or delivering digital books, audios and videos to your customers. We have many years of experience assisting clients with creating membership sites, and will be happy to explain your options and all of the powerful features this type of website can offer you and your business.

Our preferred platform is a website powered by WordPress, integrated with Wishlist Member to run the membership area. These tools are easy to learn, and let you focus on creating your content and running your business, without getting bogged down with technical mumbo-jumbo.

Features Include:

Unlimited Membership Levels
Your membership site can have as many “levels” as you want. So if you want “Silver”, “Gold” and “Platinum”, you can! You can charge more for a higher level of access – all within the same site.

Flexible Membership Options
WishList Member gives you the ability to create Free, Trial or Paid membership levels (and any combination of all three).

Sequential Content Delivery
You may want to graduate your members from one level to the next. For example, members start at Module 1 and after 30 days they are automatically upgraded to Module 2.

Control Viewed Content
If you don’t want your members to see content they don’t have access to, just click the “Hide” button. This works REALLY well if you have a “modular” membership and only want people in Module 1 to see“Module 1 and not Module 2,3,4,5 etc.

Shopping Cart Integration
WishList Member seamlessly integrates with the most popular shopping cart systems including PayPal, 1ShoppingCart, ClickBank, and many more. Plus, WishList Member now has total integration with Cydec and Infusion.

Easy Member Management
At a glance you can see your members, their registration status, membership level and much more. It’s also a snap to upgrade members, move them to different levels, “pause” their membership or delete them entirely.

Multi-Level Access
WishList Member can go beyond just a membership site as you can easily give your members access to multiple levels within your membership (this works well if you’d like to create a central download location).

Total Content Protection
WishList Member gives you the ability to determine exactly what your members can access. You can even drill down and grant access to specific posts, pages, categories and comments for each membership level. The possibilities are endless!

Secure RSS Feeds
Secure RSS feeds allow your members to view their membership material in their favorite RSS reader. But, it also gives you complete control – non-members can’t access the feed and if a person stops paying, their feed automatically stops working.

Subscription Length Control
With this feature you can control the length of time each member has access to your membership site. Now you can automatically expire a membership after 3 days, 7 days or whatever time period you want.

Login Redirection
If you would like to control the first page your members see when they login, now you can. The best part is, you can have a different redirection page for each membership level. It’s perfect for adding welcome messages, updates, news and so much more.

“Sneak Peak” Content Display
Protecting your content is extremely easy because everything after the “more” tag is automatically protected for members only. So an eye-grabbing post title, combined with a compelling opening paragraph is more than enough to wet the appetite of non-members!

Custom Error Pages
When a person tries to access content they don’t have permission to view, they will be taken to an error page. Now you can determine what that page will be. This gives you the chance to encourage them to register or upgrade to a different membership level.

Partial Content Display
Let’s say you want the majority of a post to be displayed for non-members except for one sentence. With the Partial Content Display feature you can hide that “secret sentence” so that it only displays the “secret sentence” for your members.

Much, Much More!
WishList Member has a wide variety of additional features that expand the way you can use WordPress to build and grow your membership site. Plus, they’re always adding more based on suggestions from their customers.
